Caution: Schedules (along with all other databases) contain errors and are subject to change. Note that this listing only includes broadcast channels, not cable or internet channels. Most of the shows listed are fact rather than fiction; % indicates fiction (i.e., a series episode with a science-related plot). + after the time means the program is rerun later (possibly on a sister station, i.e., a show on channel 26.4 may be rerun on 26.5); check that station's program listing for details. Channel 62 in Frederick & 67 in Baltimore are identical to 22 in Annapolis (including sister stations (i.e., 22.2=62.2=67.2) too). Note that channel 7.3 airs numerous SF movies - check their schedule (select COMET WJLADT3 at wjla.com/station/schedule) for times & titles.
